Manchester City continues their move for the qualification of the Champions League on Wednesday evening when they have to struggle in the Premier League.
A gloomy title defense has the normally flawless cityzens after a place in the top four at the end of the season after a fifth place – their current position in the table – could be sufficient depending on the UEFA coefficient. The victory against the middle of the week would raise her via Chelsea via Chelsea before the blues proceed against the rival Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.
The trust was hardly a common sky for the city, which is enthusiastic about the international break of March, but the victory over Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday will increase morality.
In the meantime, Leicester has not felt the joy of trust since Enzo Maresca’s departure last summer and her hot return to the top flight is almost over. The East Midlands team certainly looks to return to the championship after it has stumbled into new levals under Ruud van Nistelrooy. You have only won once in the Premier League since mid -December, but you can’t play Tottenham every week.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to the duel in the Etihad.

City booked their place in the semi -finals of the FA Cup at the weekend, but they were moved a devastating blow in the Vitality Stadium. Erling Haaland was withdrawn due to an ankle injury and since then it has been known that he was able to miss the next five to seven weeks.
The Norwegian sniper is painfully missed and joins a group of top -class names in the treatment room. The central defensive trio of Manuel Akanji, John Stones and Nathan Ake are currently all, as are the long-term absences Rodri and Oscar Bobb.
MAN City predicted line-up against Leicester (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Lewis, Dias, Gvardiol, O’reilly; Kovacic, Gonzalez; Savinho, de Bruyne, Silva; Marmoush.
Injuries were not a mitigating factor for Leicester’s latest break -in, although the foxes continue to miss the creativity and sportiness of Abdul Fatawu. He has been missing with an ACL tear since mid-November and will not return this season.
Ricardo Pereira is also a doubt for the collision of the week a week. The Portuguese full -back briefly returned from a long -term setback in early March, but missed the fight with Manchester United with a knock before the international break.
Leicester predicted the line-up against Man City (3-4-2-1): Hermansen; Faes, Vestergaard, Coady; Justin, Ndidi, Soumare, Kristianen; Buonanotte, El Khannous; Vardy.
This season, the city has proven to be unpredictable in Etihad, but should only have a few problems to swallow Leicester aside. Even without Haaland, the attacking firepower that is available to it should bring the weak and porous defense of the foxes into the sword.
The city’s defensive problems were a topic of the season, but they will have a clean sheet on Wednesday. Leicester has only achieved four times in the Premier League since the end of the year and has increased in the last five games.
This should be as routinely as for Pep Guardiola’s men.
